Mr. Johnson is the latest Western leader to travel to the Ukrainian capital for talks with the country’s president.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell both made visits on Friday, and Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer earlier on Saturday.
Speaking at a Downing Street press conference on Friday, Mr. Johnson warned Russia will not escape punishment after the attack at Kramatorsk station.
The prime minister said the UK will send additional military equipment including Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles and 800 anti-tank missiles.
